Summary
2212. In a world rebuilt after the climate catastrophes, wealth and power separate the governed territories from the lawless colonies. And nothing is more extravagant than the Flowers – women afflicted by a condition that causes flowers to bloom across their skin like moving tattoos for several days a month, bringing them unbearable pain and arousal that spells death for them unless satiated by another woman.
Unlike the public who worship the Flowers or the wealthy who pay exorbitant prices to watch the spectacle, Dr Aden Masters is determined to cure the condition. But the Houses that sell the services of the Flowers are understandably uninterested. Thus, Aden strikes a devil’s bargain with the most powerful House to gain access to the Flowers while keeping her true purpose a secret.
When Aden is assigned to work with Spring, the most popular Flower in the world, she finds herself entirely captivated by the Flower. But as they become closer, and the pressure to find the cure increases, Aden learns that the machinations of the House and those who inhabit it go far deeper than she can imagine.
Note: Concept of Flowers heavily inspired by Moonlight Garden but characters, world, and plot all entirely mine.Bookmarked by Afterbitch
